GUEST,Moss Bliss Origins: In the Jailhouse Now (108* d) RE: Lyr Add: In the Jailhouse Now 19 May 09


R. Crumb and his Cheap Suit Serenaders have a decent version that seems to be a compilation of these, or from different sources... they start with Campbell, and the voting bit goes, "I told Billy on the phone, to leave them white people's business alone"... and then goes to Idy, with the singer killing her for being in his pants "where my money was"... then goes into "She's in the graveyard now," and the last line is "and I'm in the jailhouse now". Don't know if I have this recording, but R. Crumb got pretty pseudopopular in the 70s (also a good underground comics artist).
